World Without Work

Why ask for more jobs when what we really want is more time, more freedom and more fun?Most of the work and soon all of the work human beings do can be done better, faster and at a far lesser cost by machines and robots. Robots already produce cars worldwide with very little human labour, and it could soon be completely automated.

A HUMAN BEING SHOULD NOT HAVE TO DO WHAT A MACHINE COULD DO

The same is also true for food. Vegetables produced on farms will be harvested by robots, with a technology that already exists. Robotized trucks can then deliver the produce directly to consumers, who will select what they want online. Services are all becoming automated. ATMs, online shopping, directory assistance are just a few examples. Even surgical robots are already performing tasks more precisely than human surgeons can.

PEOPLE DON’T WANT MORE JOBS THEY WANT MORE FREEDOM

Technology grows at an exponential rate. Singularity, the moment when the power of a computer and its artificial intelligence will surpass the capacity of a human brain, is predicted within a decade. It will create a rupture in human society that will see smart machines take over all the tasks necessary for its good functioning and its development including scientific, technological and perhaps even philosophical,. The people will be served by machines much smarter than themselves but designed to be totally devoted to their masters.Everyone will express their needs to giant computers which will manage the resources of the planet and monitor the production and the distribution to optimize the satisfaction of those needs.That we are pro or against the technological singularity and our takeover by smart machines is irrelevant. It cannot be stopped. It is like stopping the arrival of the printing press, the electricity or the internet. There is no turning back possible.

THE SMART MACHINES ARE LEADING THE REVOLUTION

Paradism is the movement that best prepares humanity to the transformations that are currently giving birth to a society without work. The rest of the political spectrum keeps promising the people more jobs and is only creating friction and a chaos endangering our survival. They give us a bleak vision of the future when actually it will be glorious. Don’t let yourself be deceived. Tomorrow the only jobs we will create will be for the machines. And that is a very good thing.
